$950 to attend this event??? Gees, IMO, that’s a ridiculous price….and i love Megadeth/ Mustaine! And that doesn’t even include travel/hotel stays! Maybe he’ll try to charge people to camp on his property, like he did when he was living in Fallbrook, CA. Dave must be trying to pad the bank account before dissolving Megadeth.
I understand Mustaine is retiring the band cuz of health reasons. I get it….it sucks getting old. But I’m sad he’s retiring the band. The other band whose name also begins with the letter ‘M’ should retire cuz their heart died over 30 years ago.
